Yule Be Sorry You Said That

(It’s the holiday season. We’ve gotten a LOT of people getting mad that we say, “Happy holidays,” but this one takes the cake. I’m ringing a woman out and I hand her the receipt.)

Me: “Happy holidays!”

Customer: “No! It’s ‘Merry Christmas’! That’s the only holiday!”

(My coworkers all hear.)

Me: “Well… happy Yule!”

Coworker #1: “Happy Hanukkah!”

Coworker #2: “Merry Solstice!”

Coworker #3: “Happy Kwanzaa!”

Coworker #2: “Happy New Year!”

(The customer stormed out. My next customer high-fived me.)
